Faceups Triple faceup - gaining experience

Notes and photos from faceups three through five.

I had a few girls with blank faces and acquired the needed safety equipment to use spray sealant responsibly. So I decided to do three faceups at once. Mostly in an attempt to catch up while I wait for dolls on layaway/on order, and also to save on MSC.

The dolls from left to right: Doll Leaves Lan, Iplehouse Faline, and Mystic Kids Evelyn.
First coat of sealant applied.

Thanks for reading and hope you have a good day!

 

Thank you! The camera is washing them out a bit but I am happy with the amount of color saturation that shows up in person. Glad to hear that they look lifelike : )
Generally speaking, personally for myself, if I want constructive criticism I will ask during project so I can change stuff before everything is sealed and finalized. Thank you again for the thoughts and compliments!

 

Thank you! I love how pastel can look so soft and dreamy

 

Thank you : )

 

Thank you very much : )

 

Yes she is. Well spotted! The Lan sculpt from certain angles is just perfect for that sort of otherworldly, slightly lanky charm from the animated movie.

Thank you very much : ) It's really interesting getting used to the differences from a 2-D canvas to a 3-D one. And much respect to the artists who make the sculpts!
